Part 4

 Within the template, write a 4- to 6-page scholarly paper that includes the following:

  • Title
  • Introduction that explains an authentic problem or issue that could be the focus of your Practicum Project. This includes a brief rationale for your selected focus that incorporates references from the literature, specialization standards, regulatory standards, and/or other sources you have used to validate this project.
  • Goal statement with two or three measurable project objectives. A goal statement identifies what you expect to accomplish, the focus area, and the population. It introduces the project and conveys, in broad terms, how you plan to solve a particular problem or issue. Project objectives delineate your strategy for reaching the goal and the steps you will follow to complete the project. You must include two or three measurable objectives that use Application-level or higher verbs from Bloom’s Taxonomy.
  • Evidence-based review of the literature for project justification. This review provides evidence-based support for your identified problem, project methods, and evaluation. The literature should be directed toward justifying the project, not focus on potential solutions. You must include a review of your specialization’s professional-practice standards and guidelines related to your project and a minimum of five (5) scholarly references for this section of the paper.
  • The project methodology, methods, and theories that are appropriate for your project, including an explanation of why they will be valuable to use. This section addresses in detail how you will accomplish the project objectives. Include, as relevant, the who, when, where, and how of each objective.
  • The resources you need to complete the project. Identify and justify the human, physical, and/or technical resources you will need. Note that for this assignment, you do not have to address the financial aspects of your plan.
  • A formative and summative evaluation that will evaluate your Practicum Project. This details what the evaluations will measure and what information you can gain from that. Explain how you will use the evaluation results and how you will determine if the project is proceeding as planned.
  • Timeline. Create a graphic timeline representing significant stages of your project. Provide a narrative to help your Faculty SME understand the timeline. Include the timeline in an Appendix to your Practicum Project Plan.
  • References. References should be formatted in APA style and reflect current nursing/health literature (i.e., published within the past 5 years).

Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis

Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.
  • Use the Walden Library to identify and read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.
  • Review the article you selected and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts described by the article.

The Assignment:

Using the “Module 4 | Part 4” section of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template presented in the Resources, conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:

  • Your topic of interest.
  • A correctly formatted APA citation of the article you selected, along with link or search details.
  • Identify a professional practice use of the theories/concepts presented in the article.
  • Analysis of the article using the “Research Analysis Matrix” section of the template
  • Write a 1-paragraph justification stating whether you would recommend this article to inform professional practice.
  • Write a 2- to 3-paragraph summary that you will add to your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan that includes the following:
    • Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research.
    • Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research.
    • Identify at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research.

Diagnosis

Primary Diagnosis- D50.9 Iron Deficiency Anemia: The objective and the subjective information obtained support the suspected diagnosis for Iron Deficiency Anemia (Kocaoz, Cirpan, & Degirmencioglu, 2019). In addition, all the symptoms manifested such as the fact that she is feeling more tired than usual, abnormally heavy menses, associated with moderate to severe abdominal cramps and a family history, contribute to select this diagnosis as a final diagnosis.

Differential diagnoses:

 D25.9 Leiomyoma of Uterus, Unspecified: Benign tumors also known as fibroids. The tumors arise from the overgrowth of tissue and muscle in the uterus. Common symptoms include heavy menstruation and pelvic pain. This condition is unlikely to be the main diagnosis because the patient is not complaining of pelvic pressure (Sabry & Al-Hendy, 2019).

 N80.1 Endometriosis of Ovary: Occurs when extra tissue outgrows to the ovaries. Common symptoms include painful periods, pain with intercourse, excessive bleeding and infertility (Alimi, Loukas, & Tubbs, 2018). 

C54.1 Malignant neoplasm of endometrium: A malignant condition that occurs when the abnormal growth of cells appear in the endometrium (Parasar, Ozcan, & Terry, 2017).  The cells can also spread to other organs. Vaginal bleeding and pain are the most common first manifestations. In this case, this condition is unlikely because the patient is having heavy bleeding associated with menstruation (Porter, 2020).  

PLAN including education Test: 

CBC, Serum iron, Transferring saturation, Total Iron-binding capacity, Serum Ferritin, Transvaginal UltrasoundMedications: None at this time until lab work is evaluated. Birth Control options discussed with patient at this time. Education: Patient was educated on safe sex practices and self-breast examination. Patient was educated to eat diet high in iron including red meat, pork and poultry, seafood, beans, dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, dried fruit, and raisins. Increase fluid intake. Follow up in 2 days for results.
